NASA unveils ‘community hub’ for open source

From FierceGovernmentIT:

NASA is expanding its open government efforts with the addition of yet another site to the open.nasa.gov family of websites. Code.nasa.gov launched in "early alpha" Jan. 4 with a focus on providing access to current NASA open source projects, a guide to NASA's open source release process and a forthcoming forum tool for project collaboration.

"We hope to lower the barriers to building open technology in partnership with the public," wrote William Eshagh, one of the open.nasa.gov blog authors.
